Transcendental Style in Film by Paul Schrader

Transcendental Style in Film by Paul Schrader

Filmmaker and critic Schrader examines the distinctive cinematic techniques of directors Ozu, Bresson and Dreyer, analysing how their deliberately austere, minimalist visual style creates a genuine sense of spiritual transcendence quite different from conventional emotional filmmaking.

Written before Schrader's own celebrated screenwriting career, this rigorous film studies text remains foundational to understanding spiritual and minimalist cinema, and its influence on Schrader's own later directorial work makes it a genuinely important dual document of film theory and artistic development.

A foundational, influential text of film studies from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Schrader.
